Fresh and simple with a bit of a kick, this easy-to-make pear salsa is ready in just 30 minutes.

This pear salsa is a tasty twist on the traditional tomato salsa. Traditional ingredients like red bell pepper, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro pair perfectly with juicy Harry & David Royal Riviera Pears. When tossed together, the flavors will prove to your taste buds that winter produce is far from dull. The mild heat of the jalapeño and tart lime are a delightful companion to the diced pear. It's the perfect addition to any party when served with chips and great to use as a topping for fish or chicken for a light and easy dinner.

And since there's always something to celebrate, this salsa is the perfect dip for all your parties: awards shows, football games, family gatherings fill the winter with festivities alone. It truly is a fiesta in a bowl.
